Randy Brits struck down by STIs spreading like wildfire through Magaluf after spike in unprotected sex
Brits warned to take precautions as tourism companies warn holiday-makers not to forget a condom
CAREFREE holiday-markers heading to Magaluf have been warned of an outbreak of STIs spreading through the party town.
Randy Brits wanting to cut loose in the Spanish town have reported an outbreak in chlamydia with concerns it could threaten the sexual health of UK residents.
One Brit who recently moved to the area took to social media, saying: “Surprised the Magaluf strip isn't empty as everyone Iv (sic) spoke to can't drink as there on antibiotics from to chlamydia outbreak”.
The Daily Star claimed Brit tourists had been queuing up for antibiotics "in their droves" as more and more were struck down with the infection.
Chlamydia is usually symptomless but it can cause discharge and bleeding from the genitalia, as well as long-term problems like swollen testicles, pelvis disease and infertility.
Feelsummer Magaluf, one of Europe’s leading ticket websites for tourists, has listed a warning online to anyone considering a holiday in the Spanish party town.

In a notice to potential tourists, Feelsummer wrote: “Everybody understands that young people want to enjoy their holiday and let themselves go, but it’s important to always use a condom. The implications of unprotected sex are just too serious to ignore and catching herpes or genital warts will ruin an otherwise fun holiday.”
A report that examined the sexual behaviour of young people in international tourist resorts found more than half of tourists visiting Ibiza had sex with at least one person, with 26.2% of males and 14.5% of females having sex with more than one individual.
The report, conducted in conjunction with the Centre for Public Health and the South Sefton Primary Care Trust, found the rate of unprotected sex in holiday resort areas posed an increasing threat to the sexual health of UK residents.
